What’s Americana in daily life of a normal american in 2014…
eating Burgers @ George?
or a classic Italian place maybe?
or at the Farmer boys…. plenty of choice on food over here, people hardly eat home, except on the countryside…
Downtown Orange at a local antique shop is the VW sign of Super VW Magazine…:)
Right across the street a typical Bar… note that a cafe is a place You can eat in contradiction to Europe, and a Bar is to go for a drink (and not for pretty ladies as in Belgium that want only drink champagne out of you) we do love the neon signs on this type of businesses, always nice to look at and so much fifties reminding…
ok let’s have late lunch at Wahoo’s, a typical surf café…. very welcome to everybody…
I thought this was a real cool interior picture… with special guest my bus buddy for life Eddy and his Daughter Ellen…
ah! Beer in the counter, how cool is that!
Cool posters, I only mentioned the two police officers in the corner after i took the pictures, oeps… but they didn’t mind too much, at least they didn’t put me in jail…:)
cool place huh? This is america in 2014, with a Californian twist…
Right across Wahoo’s in downtown Orange is still Plaza Muffler, the guys from the crazy shortened VW bus, the bus is at an other outlet, but signs everywhere…:)
as we all can see the fifties are gone, but the lifestyle stays, USA is different, don’t call it any better, but for sure a lot of fun to visit somewhere…
